Savor the Moment

I like Nora Roberts - I'm a fan. I liked this book, I did. And I read the first two books in this series, and I liked them. They are great beach reads, or time-passers for the Metro or the dentist's office. But deep and meaningful, great literature? Absolutely not.

It's a really nice story about great friends, falling in love, and being happy. But it's just SO FAR REMOVED FROM REALITY. I mean, seriously, there is a group of four women friends who all work and basically live together, and they never seem to argue? And they are all beautiful (though in different ways of course) and sexy and love their jobs and are fabulous at what they do? And the men in their lives are all gorgeous and well-employed (some even wealthy), and they all have deep feelings that they SHARE? I'm sorry, but please tell me what planet that is, because it isn't like anything I have ever experienced on Earth.

As I said, it's a nice escape, a good read, but it's just too... unreal. If I were an 18-year-old girl reading these novels I would fall into a serious depression, wondering what the hell was wrong with me and my life. C'mon, Nora, let's write something that normal people can identify with, OKAY?
